Ava DuVernay has directed a movie based on Caste. It’s called Origin.

Yes, it sounds interesting. I read that it looks at Isabel Wilkerson’s personal life as she’s writing Caste. She mentions in the book that she lost her mother and husband within a short span.

And a good list of books. I've read the last two already. Caste was fantastic, Tomorrowx3 less interesting. It's like Middlemarch: if only people would communicate what they feel, everything would work out. Easily.

I’ve found that communicating what one feels is only half the process. The other person has to be willing to listen and respond with empathy. And I’ve known quite a few people not up to or interested in taking that step. Not so easy when that’s the case.
